According to reports, a Massachusetts substitute teacher has been fired for allegedly smoking marijuana in front of students in a classroom.
WHDH has reported that the teacher had been immediately kicked out of class this past Monday when students at North Attleboro High School reported that he was smoking the drug.
“The incident at North Attleborough High School was entirely unexpected and unprecedented,” Principal Peter Haviland said in a statement. He added that it was “in no way a reflection” of the school.
“Instead, the quick actions of the students to report their concerns is an accurate reflection of the values of this school and community and serves as comforting evidence demonstrating that our students share and uphold these common values of safety and appropriateness within our school,” he said, according to WHDH.
“It was their quick decisions to report the concerns which allowed our school to immediately intervene and remove the individual who created the unsafe environment.
“We are proud of our students and grateful to them for the level of maturity and courage they showed during this unfortunate and unprecedented experience.”
